A former assistant coach with the University of Colorado football team left the school while he was being investigated over allegations he had sexual relationships with female trainers in two incidents, according to federal court records.
Vance Joseph left as CU was investigating whether he committed sexual harassment, according to a deposition from then-university president Betsy Hoffman. Joseph took a job in 2004 at Bowling Green State University in Ohio coaching defensive backs.
According to the deposition, Joseph had sex with a trainer in the steam room and picked up two trainers at a bar and took them home with him. Hoffman said she believed the incidents took place in 2001 or 2002, according to court records.
Joseph, who took a job this year as a coach with the San Francisco 49ers, could not be reached for comment.
The documents emerged in filings this week in U.S. District Court in Denver as a lawyer for two women who say they were raped at a party in 2001 by football players or recruits attempted to revive their case against CU.
